The new lighter bottles have a shorter neck and a sturdy, ergonomical shape that requires less plastic and fits comfortably the hand. The bottles, which are made with reduced PET plastic, remain completely recyclable.

November 15th saw the celebration of America Recycles Day. As a part of this, the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) encouraged increased awareness of the importance of recycling and of choosing consumer products that are packaged in recyclable material.
